Maybe being a realist here, but we don't currently translate /home,
nor /usr/share if the user chooses to look at the filesystem.

the user sees the folder (in whatever app), it's translated -- easy.

If the person uses a shell script, or KDE program, and it comes up
with /Photos rather than %translation%, then the user should understand
it's because they are not using a GNOME program.

Users are not stupid, but that is just my point of view.
